The person that I gave it to was a very good friend
of mine at the time. His name was Kaliya
(1)__________ he came from India. I knew him
(2)_________ we studied together at a language
school in Cambridge. (3)____________ we were
from different backgrounds and cultures, we got on
really well and we had the same sense of humor
(4)___________ we became very good friends.
The present was a picture that had been painted of
the River Cam in Cambridge. It was not so big -
maybe around 10 inches by 14 inches, but it was
very beautiful. It came in a gold plated frame and
the picture had been drawn by a particularly well-
known Cambridge artist. It had been signed by this
person as well.
It’s the first time I have given this person a present,
and I guess it’s quite different from presents
(5)_________ I have given to other people before –
I don’t recall ever giving someone a picture
actually. If I’m buying for family then I’ll usually buy
clothes or maybe some jewelry if it is a special
occasion. Normally when I’ve bought something for
friends it’s something more jokey so we can have a
laugh about it, nothing that serious.
The reason (6)_________ I decided to give this
particular gift is because we had spent a lot of time
together in Cambridge and we had had some really
fun times punting on the River Cam – that’s
obviously why I thought this was an appropriate
present. We used to go punting at least once a
week, sometimes a couple of times. On one
occasion there was a group of about ten of us that
went down there, and we spent the whole day
sitting by the river in the sun (7)__________ as
usual we went on a boat trip together. We all have
a lot of photos to remind us of this great day.
So my friend, Kaaliya, is the person that I gave a
present to and this was because I felt it would
always remind him of the fun times that we had and
also of Cambridge.
